"We moved from Kansas City after my 12th birthday. Now living above "Metropolis Music & Video" in Manhattan. I hate it here. It stinks.

The only friend I've made is Terry, the clerk downstairs. He lets us watch movies on betamax for free. Wish we still had the VHS player."

Movement 5: The Night - October 1989

"If I'm lucky, I sleep 4 hours a night. If I sleep at all. I know most of the city by heart now. Toyland has become my regular destination, to dance with my Andrea. I escort her home, sometimes we watch the sunrise. Most nights, I just wander into the night..."
